Some designers even purposefully color outside the outline, making the sketch more artistic and abstract.
Many films of the 1940s centered on the trials and tribulations of the brave men and women fighting for freedom in Europe and the Pacific.

Batman Forever Return of Swamp Thing (Truly bad but I couldn make a strong enough case to call it a superhero film) Elektra Meteor Man (This film almost made my list but I left if off since it is mainly a spoof) Ghost Rider Dick Tracy And finally, I have to mention one film that was excluded that perhaps deserves the number one spot and that the 1994 Fantastic Four film that was never released theatrically or on video although it been heavily bootlegged.

Matchy Matchy doesn't always work in the fashion world because sometimes you have to mix and match your outfits along with a little color.

I say tweak on this fall fashion trend. Furs, whether real or faux, tend to be quite bulky, so petite women should wear them with care.

Last weekend, Team FXPrimus Aylezo finished double podium for Round 9 and 10 of Blancpain Lamborghini Super Trofeo Asia Series in Shanghai. It was an outstanding race weekend for the team with one pole position and two second placed finish at Shanghai International Circuit. The Shanghai International Circuit has a very different layout of track compared to Zhuhai International Circuit. This means that the team had to change their strategy to make the most of the long straights and intense turns that make this track so challenging.

The race weekend started out pretty good with the cooling weather. During the qualifying round, Afiq managed to claim pole position for race one. However, Zen was unable to get a perfectly clear lap during the qualifying round and managed to get ninth position.Race one was one of the intense race of the weekend, when Afiq started the race well, reclaimed one lost position and then pulled a 10-12 second gap by the pit-stop session. Later on, Zen took over the car, the team looked in a great position for the win, until disaster struck, leaving Zen having to stop and reboot the car on turn three.

“Afiq passed the car to me in the lead with a good gap, but as I got in the car, I saw the engine error lighton.Usually it means two things,either I reset it or it will go away by itself and since I saw the 5 second ‘ready-to-go’ sign I told myself ‘ok, let’s not reset so I won’t lose anytime’ and took arisk”said Zen after the race.The gamble did not pay off but Zen’s quick thinking allowed the team the chance to rejoin the race and finish in third. But as the team went in, there was a bit of confusion as they were told that because of penalties, Team FXPrimus Aylezo were awarded the win.

“We were a little confused but happy too when they told us that we were in fact second, since one of the teams was excluded from the win. Then when we got to the podium, they said that Dilantha’s team was penalised with a 30 second time added penalty which pushed us up to first. It was not how we wanted our first win to be.Race two was started off by Zen in position nine. As the lights turned green, he pushed on and successfully overtake four cars halfway through the first lap. Later on in the race, the tyres wore off causing Zen to loss two spots before heading the car to Afiq.

Once Afiq got in the car, he set a blistering pace and began to pressure drivers ahead of him, picking them off one-by-one until he was in second place at the chequered flag. With an outstanding performance by Team FXPrimus Aylezo, they deserve double podium for this race weekend.

Team FXPrimus Aylezo will now head home for the season finaleheld at Sepang International Circuit this November.The 2014 Lamborghini Blancpain Super Trofeo Asia will take the team to five race circuits around Asia, the season started in May at Sepang International Circuit before heading to Indonesia, to Japan and China.

Three promising Formula Masters China Series (FMCS) drivers have had their first taste of the Audi R8 LMS Cup car at an exclusive test at the Sepang International Circuit.

Rewarded for their strong results in the first half of the 2014 season, FMCS Drivers Classification leader James Munro (17) of New Zealand, Best Chinese Driver Trophy leader Yuan Bo and Indonesia’s Andersen Martono (17) spent Monday working with former Formula 1 driver Alex Yoong, who currently races in the Audi R8 LMS Cup, as they tested the Audi R8 LMS Cup car for the first time. The collaboration between FMCS and the Audi R8 LMS Cup highlights the numerous opportunities provided by Volkswagen Group China to FMCS drivers.

“We are delighted that Formula Masters China Series drivers James Munro, Yuan Bo and Andersen Martono had a strong day of testing in the Audi R8 LMS Cup car,” said Dominic Lyncker, Director Motorsport, Volkswagen Group China. “FMCS was created precisely for this reason – to provide the region’s top talents with a solid motorsport foundation and to provide opportunities between FMCS drivers and the Volkswagen Group China motorsport family.”

Established in 2013, FMCS has already proven its efficacy: reigning FMCS champion Aidan Wright of Australia graduated from FMCS to the Audi R8 LMS Cup, while Hong Kong’s Matthew Solomon races in both FMCS and the Audi R8 LMS Cup. FMCS driver Ronald Wu of Hong Kong also made his R8 LMS Cup debut at Fuji earlier this year.

“FMCS is an excellent platform for developing young drivers from formula cars to GT racing. Aidan Wright, Matt Solomon and Ronald Wu have already been proving their potential in the Audi R8 LMS Cup. The test at Sepang was a great opportunity to evaluate more of China and the region’s rising talents,” said Rene Koneberg, Director of Audi Sport customer racing Asia. “We were impressed by how quickly the three drivers adapted to the Audi R8 LMS Cup car and perhaps in the future we will see them return to race with us.”
